Why Should Anyone Obey the Law Anymore?
Townhall.com ^ | April 14, 2019 | Wayne Allyn Root

Forget the college cheating scam. The biggest scam in America is the Democratic Party. Its platform is based on legalizing cheating. I have no idea why anyone in America should obey the law anymore. Just ignore any law you think is unfair -- just like Democrats do.

Just days ago, 13 parents, including famous Hollywood actress Felicity Huffman, agreed to plead guilty in the college admissions cheating scandal. Now, don't get me wrong. I hate arrogant, rich, entitled jerks as much as the next guy -- maybe more.

I went to Columbia University with hundreds of these liberals. It was clear from my first day at Columbia that many of my spoiled-brat classmates -- all of whom announced proudly how much they hated America -- got in because their rich parents greased the wheels. Nothing ever changes. I couldn't stand these kids.

Nonetheless, if I were among those 13 cheating parents, I'd have pleaded innocent. Their lawyers should have argued they're innocent thanks to the standards set by today's Democratic Party. According to Democrats, laws no longer matter and cheating is legal -- as long as you think the law you're breaking is unfair.

Exhibit A is illegal immigration. Democrats aggressively support open borders. They no longer think immigration law matters. They want to allow anyone, at any time, to break into our country. And Democrats think that once illegals are caught breaking in, they should be allowed to stay forever without penalty.

Illegals have fake IDs and stolen Social Security numbers. Democrats don't think anyone should be punished for breaking those laws.

Actually, it's worse. Democrats want to reward criminals. They think anyone who breaks into our country deserves welfare checks, food stamps, housing allowances, aid to dependent children, free school and free medical. That's massive theft from law-abiding American taxpayers directly to criminals.

Democrats in New York and California insist these criminals must get Obamacare. Democratic presidential contenders say these illegal criminals must get Social Security -- even though this will further hasten the insolvency of the program for U.S. citizens who have paid in their whole lives.

Democratic judges will no longer enforce the law. They refuse to turn felons over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Democratic mayors warn felons that ICE is coming.

Worse, Democratic presidential candidates support abolishing ICE. They don't even want a police force to defend our nation from foreign invaders or to take criminals into custody.

Democrats create sanctuary cities and even sanctuary states. In California, Gov. Gavin Newsom has sworn to protect illegal aliens in his state. He believes he can choose to ignore laws and the Constitution simply because he doesn't like them.

So, I ask: Why should the rest of us obey laws we don't like? Why should any of us pay our taxes if we don't like the IRS? Why should any of us obey the speed limit if we like to speed? It's clear it's my choice to ignore any laws I don't like.

You know what I call those college cheating parents who pleaded guilty? Suckers. They clearly needed better legal representation. They should have just pleaded innocent based on the Democratic Party's platform.

“If the government becomes a law breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.”

the corruption comes straight from the TOP
down.
DOJ - corrupt as Benedict Arnold at his worst
SCOTUS - could not care about treason, destroyed documents,
lying on federal documents, OR attacks
on the Constitution.

Only the ELECTED PRESIDENT appears to care, like the
People who elected him, and were shanked by the RINOs.

The experiment in the rule of law is certainly devolving back to the rule of man.

After being exposed to people from the third world, I came to the conclusion that the reason America is successful is we follow the rules. I watched foreign students drive down the wrong way on a road because there was a few minute’s wait to do it the right way. Most of their cars were badly dented from constant behavior like this. When classes let out, the Americans would wait on the sidewalk for the Arabs to leave the parking lot as they felt they had the right of way to a dangerous degree. I don’t speed not because of tickets but because if everybody follows the law not only will we all be safer, it allows others to make decisions based on the knowledge that everybody is doing the same thing in the same way. In America we have a mutual societal trust based on shared laws that is absent elsewhere. This is one of the things we risk when we allow unrestricted immigration and no assimilation.

Would not matter a bit if we did not have all this federal money being pump into the higher education system.

Who real cares if some millionaire pays more their education over someone who pays less.

Affirmative action is illegal, unfair, wrong and unconstitutional. But this kind of cheating is still cheating.

The law is ultimately whatever those with the most power say it is, along with the willingness to use that power. Republicans and Conservatives can’t seem to understand this and Democrats know full well what power is all about. Should they win in 2020, the rest of us are going to find out what full totalitarian rule is like.

This is their preview to Socialism. It isn’t a nation of laws, it is a nation of elites enforcing every controlling law against the proletariat and excluding themselves.
